Oakland Raiders sign defensive end CJ Wilson

The Oakland Raiders have confirmed that they have signed defensive end CJ Wilson.

Wilson was allowed to hit the free-agent market after four years with the Green Bay Packers, and has now signed with the Raiders although the length of his contract was not disclosed.

"It feels great to be a Raider," Wilson told the club's official website. "I'm excited to help the team win and ready to come make some noise."

The 27-year-old recorded eight tackles for the Packers in the 2013 season.
